Tabbing into slo-mo at the end of the tumble, freezes the visual. Redactor works, but game has to be restarted.
Windows 8.1, no dump file for obvious reasons.

Either you are talking some high level computer lingo that I know nothing about, or you are not a native English speaker and tried to translate some terms and I can't think what they could be, or my brain is not working right now in general, but I don't really understand what you mean when you say tumble and redactor here.
I'll just say this: double tapping tabulator freezes the simulation. This is not a bug, but a feature. Very useful if you want to edit a level without NPCs running around. Double tap it again to unfreeze it.

Double-tapping TAB will freeze the game; you can double tap again to unfreeze.

I've had this problem since this alpha was released but I didn't really know how to describe it, (and for some reason screenshots do not work for me so I cannot show you) but when I get to about 50+ rank enemies in the arena, their clothing becomes very vibrant, and certain parts of their body become the same color as their clothes. It happens to my rabbit as well. For instance, on a level 62 battle, I had a red bunny, with red fingers, red ears, a red mouth, and red toes. The color changes with the bunny. It seems that I am the only one with this problem… It doesn't effect gameplay at all, it just looks weird

Everybody has this issue. I think it happens when you cheat with lightning or pressing X, and your level gets raised immensely.

To fix, you delete something in your overgrowth file, but I forgot what.

I have now got screen shots of the issue:

I've had the same thing above happen to me. I really don't mind it. I have issues seeing shades so the vibrant colors help alot for telling teams apart.

On my note however. I loaded a level and ended up with the sky not loading. The game flat out stated the dusk texture could not be loaded and it was defualting to something else. I'll try to keep my screen recording software running in between levels from now on so I can better show these things.

I had a video of it but removed it to prevent bad press for the game.

I have a couple of questions:

Why does every map tell me the baked shadows, nav mesh, etc. need updating when I first enter the editor? I haven't changed or added anything yet, it should be up to date, right?

Secondly, I get between 30-80 FPS throughout the game, but if I try updating shadows it completes and then something screws up and the FPS counter reads 2-3, rendering the game unplayable. Is there anything I can do to avoid this?

I'm not sure this is really system related, but here are some of my specs:

Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bt
2x Intel Xeon 5160 @ 3.0Ghz
28 GB DDR2 RAM
GeForce GTS 450
Overgrowth Alpha 205

I know my card is getting old, but the rest of my hardware usually backs it up nicely.

I have found a bug, nothing to do with the gameplay, but with the resolutions. My standard resolution is 1280 by 1024 pixels. Yes my monitor is very small and my computer isn't that good, (I'll show you later in the hardware report.) Since alpha 205, Overgrowth has been acting strange in any other resolutions other then that. I'll show you now:

When on fullscreen it plays in that little corner like that. So if I want to play it in 800x600 I have to go on windowed. Here are my hardware specs (they aren't very good.):Report version: 2

I hope you can fix this bug as it has been stressing me out a lot.

The lighting changes in alpha 207 have totally broken it for my game. The colors are waaay over saturated and very blue / purple / red.

Finally got some time to sit down and look at this patch and I have come up with the following:

The most noticeable one for me is that every OBJECT seems to have a pink/red edge for the objects edges. It seems to be Color = Specular x Ambient (Red channel only). So, a dark shiny object produces a red edge, a light shiny object produces a pink edge. A non shiny objects produces no edge (I would also assume something completely white with no specular, but I don't have an object in the game that has both of those criteria to test).

The second issue is that the new Dynamic Character Cubemap option works, however it flickers constantly. (It looks so beautiful when it flickers on though... wish it worked). I can't really get an image of this, but I could take video if need be.

The over saturated colors seems to be quite the common issue, so much so that I created a new thread on the Steam forums.

[Sully]

So I've been dicking around in the editor for a couple of hours and have a pretty good thing going on Red Shards, so I save my work and try to render the prebaked shadows. I've a pretty decent computer, and haven't had any problems rendering anything in the past, but the console window that stays open behind Overgrowth says that even though the shadows are supposed to have finished cooking, I'm getting a runtime error (pic related). I've tried it three or four times and get the same result every time.

I've not tried render ambient occlusion because I don't feel like catching my house on fire.

So I boot up a level and kill an enemy with a neck grab/slice. Whenever I restart the level by pressing "L" I try to stealth kill the same enemy. It either doesn't work or flings me and or the enemy away from each other. Is anyone else having the same problem or have a fix for it?

[StoneTheRock]

Whenever I try to launch Overgrowth, be it on Steam or SUMLauncher, I get a black screen, while the game doesn't close itself. The console opens properly and doesn't seem to show any irregularity. It basically says that the menu is loaded but the black screen obviously expresses something different. I cannot even see a cursor while ingame. I have not messed around with the scripts or anything and everything was working as it should just yesterday. I tried quitting the advance_testing branch and after that reinstalling the whole game. But it was completely futile. I don't know, maybe there's currently many more users getting that error. If this is so, please let me know. And if there is a fix, please tell me about it. Thanks.
